Avian predators really seem to have issues about their personal space....which they are under the impression is the wide open sky, as far as they can see. You just know some falcon or eagle decided to go after a 747 at some point, and got owned.
Many years ago I was flying in a radio controlled glider race on the Pacific coast near Watsonville, CA. I was in the lead when a small falcon flew in next to the fuselage behind the wing. It kept reaching up with its claws trying to grasp the trailing edge of the wing. I would dive to get away because I was afraid if it got ahold it would change the balance and maybe cause me to crash. It stayed with my sailplane for at least four circuits. Afterwards the other fliers kept asking for one of the brood!
I would think this would certainly qualify as an emergency situation justifying a departure from the max ceiling rule in order to avoid injury to the bird and loss of your drone. I wouldn't feel like another 50 feet or so in height to gain altitude on the bird temporarily to be unreasonable.
I would have just flown above the legal height limit. It's very unlikely that the police will detect that and even if they detected it's unlike they will fine for breaking the height limit unless there are aircrafts nearby
Most of what we see are the work sites and material dumps. When finished the railway will not occupy very much at all. Only trouble for the locals, they have to live with the construction activities for quite some time
Absolutely stunning 🤩 What a place. Have been there many times, but not with my drones. Need to go back! 😉 I have liked and subbed, great channel, thanks 👍
Thanks! So many beautiful areas are restricted for drone flying but there are still gems like these accessible! Thanks for subbing. Have done likewise on your very impressive channel. 😁
